Re: Understanding Word Boundaries

[Xah Lee]

 doesdid some more study on this.

wrote up a cleaned up version here:

here's a excerpt of the question:

-------------------------
Now, create a file of this content for more test.

something in the water does not compute
something !! in @@ the ## water $$ does %% not ^^ compute
something!!in@@the##water$$does%%not^^compute
(defun insert-p-tag () "Insert <p></p> at cursor point."
  (interactive) (insert "<p></p>") (backward-char 4))
for (my $i = 0; $i < 9; $i++) { print "done!";}
<a><b>a b c</b> d e</a>

Answer this:

    * Does the positions the cursor stop depends on whether you are
moving left or right?
    * Does the word motion behavior change depending on what language
mode you are in?
    * What is your editor? on what OS?

Thanks.
